2012 Central Otago Autumn Classic

The inaugural “Central Otago Autumn Golf Classic” will be played over five days, on five courses, from the 16th to 20th of April 2012.

The event replaces the “Central Otago Five Course Challenge” that was run for three years by the now defunct Cale Golf Ltd.

The new event will be a very different animal from the old Five Course Challenge. With the commercial involvement of a golf promotion company removed, players will benefit from a greater emphasis on the golfers needs.

This Classic is under the ownership and direct control of the five golf clubs, with the Tournament Director being John Roche.

John brings to this event experience gained through over 40 years of involvement in golfing events and the five clubs are confident that this inaugural Central Otago Autumn Golf

Classic will become established as one of the great annual golfing events in New Zealand.

Central Otago is a spectacular place to be in mid-Autumn and five days of golf around Queenstown, Arrowtown, Wanaka, Cromwell and Alexandra, when the courses are at their best, is an attractive prospect.
